2. RENTAL PRODUCTS

A. General Conditions

The Services include the rental of Products. This Section 2(A) sets out terms and conditions that apply to your rental of any Product.

18 YEARS OR OLDER. Products may be rented for use by individuals under 18 years of age, but we rent only to adults, who may rent the Products with a payment card or other approved payment method. By clicking agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are 18 years or older and that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method (including, without limitation, credit cards) for the purpose of renting the Products as described in these Terms.

LIMITS. You acknowledge and agree that we may place limits on the rental of Products, including but not limited to restricting orders placed under a single customer account, payment card or billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit, cancel or prohibit any rentals of Products for any reason, including but not limited to availability concerns.

DELIVERY. All deliveries will be through Enception’s shipping partners, which may change from time to time at Enception’s discretion. The shipping method used will be at the discretion of Enception.

COLLECTIONS. If you do not pay the amounts you owe to Enception when due, then Enception will need to institute collection procedures. You agree to pay Enception’s costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees.

B. Rentals The following additional conditions apply to the rental of any Product.

RENTAL FEE. The rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for the Product will be the total of the rental fee, insurance charges and delivery charges listed on the Site for your rental of the Product. When you place your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize Enception to charge your payment card for the Rental Fee. Enception will charge your payment card the amount of the Rental Fee immediately upon your rental order. A reservation of a Product on the Site is an order for the rental of that Product, regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved. In addition, at the time of your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize Enception to charge your payment card for an amount equal to 100% of the original retail value of the Product set forth on the Site (“Retail Value”) plus applicable sales taxes; provided that Enception will only charge your payment card for an amount greater than the Rental Fee as described below. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by Enception, shall be paid by you to Enception in connection with your rental order.

CANCELLATION POLICY. You may cancel your rental order subject to the following cancellation fees and policies: If you cancel thirty (30) or more days in advance of the delivery date, there is no cancellation fee and you will receive a full refund issued to the payment card you used for the order. If you cancel less than thirty (30) days but more than fourteen (14) days in advance of the delivery date, you will not receive any refund, but you will receive a full credit to your Enception account for the Rental Fee associated with the cancelled order. This credit can be applied to any future Enception rental. If you cancel fourteen (14) or fewer days in advance of the delivery date, you can still receive a credit to your Enception account for the Rental Fee associated with the cancelled order, minus a cancellation fee of $20.

RETURN PACKAGING. With delivery of the Product, Enception will provide you with a pre-paid, pre-addressed box or mailing envelope (as the case may be) as well as instructions for your use in returning the Products to Enception (“Return Packaging”). The Enception garment bag or folding sheet that your dress arrives in is not yours to keep. If the Enception garment bag or folding sheet is not returned you will be charged a $20 fee (details below under “Lost Return Packaging”).

RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCTS. Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is highly recommended. A “Secure Shipping Address” means a location where an individual can physically receive Product(s). In the event that an un-secure shipping address is provided, Enception does not bear liability for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which Enception will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees.

USE OF THE PRODUCTS. You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor stains, rips, a few missing beads, stuck zippers or other minor damage covered by the insurance you paid for with your rental of the applicable Product. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the full Retail Value for the Product.

RETURN OF THE PRODUCTS; EXTENSIONS. You agree to return the Products to Enception in the Return Packaging on or before the return date for the Products that are identified in the online invoice for your order. You must return the Product by delivering the Product in the Return Packaging to a UPS store located in the United States by 12 p.m. on or before the date that the Product is due.

LATE FEES. If you return the Products late or not at all, a late fee of 50% the cost of a 3 day rental will be charged to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to Enception for every day that you are late returning the Products, and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Retail Value plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each Product that is not returned when due. If you have not returned a Product within twenty (20) days after the return date for the Product, your late return will be considered a non-return and Enception will charge your payment card the maximum late fee set forth in this Section 2(B), less any late fees that you have already paid, plus applicable sales tax.

PAYMENT OF 100% RENTAL VALUE Enception will not charge you for more than an amount equal to 100% of the Retail Value plus the Rental Fee, in the aggregate, for any charges arising under this Section 2(B), excluding collection costs. If you pay Enception an amount equal to 100% of the Retail Value under this Section 2(B) and you still possess the Product, the Product is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

LOST RETURN PACKAGING. If you lose the Return Packaging, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense by the expected return date, and providing Enception with a tracking number. If you lose or fail to return the Enception garment bag or folding sheet you will be charged $20. If you still possess the Enception garment bag or folding sheet, it is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

LIMITED WARRANTIES. The following are the limited warranties Enception provides in connection with Product rentals. Enception’s liability to you for failure to comply with any of these warranties is limited to timely delivery of Product conforming to the warranties or a refund of the Rental Fee (excluding insurance and delivery charges) as determined by Enception. See Section 7(A) below. CORRECT PRODUCTS. We will deliver the Products you ordered on or before the delivery date for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that the Product is damaged beyond repair or is otherwise unavailable. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you that the Product is unavailable. If we are able to reach you, you will be entitled to choose any available rental Product to replace the unavailable Product. If we are unable to reach you, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you a replacement product of the same or greater value. Products may appear different in color and style than as displayed on the Site. CLEAN AND READY TO WEAR.
